WovEn fabriCs

METYX Composites woven fabrics are made by inter-weaving continuous fiber rovings to produce biaxial fab-rics that can be used with most resin systems. Woven fabrics are typically used in the marine, wind energy, au-tomotive, aerospace, and sports and leisure industries to increase the flexural and impact strength of laminates.

WovEn tapEs

METYX Composites woven tapes are com-prised of strands of fiberglass that are woven into a narrow band. They are used to better sta-bilize the edges of fabrics. Woven Roving Tapes are typically used in the marine, wind energy, automotive, aerospace, and sports and leisure industries.

main fEaturEs

• Improved surface smoothness • Additional surface protection and durability• Reduced surface shrinkage• lower porosity

produCt rangE

METYX Composites manufactures a wide range of surface veils for various applications. All of our surface veils are characterized by uniform fiber dis-tribution; consistent tensile strength; smooth, soft surface; compatibility with all commonly used resin systems; and rapid wet-out.

peel ply product Range:METYX manufactures a complete range of peel plies to suit all production needs: polyamide or polyester, bands or full width.

pa80r1tm

The PA80R1 Range is engineered to have superior peel properties due to a unique proprietary step in the production process. It is 100 percent polyamide, washed, and heat fixed. PA80R1 gives texture to the surface of high-performance laminates, which significantly improves adhesion in secondary bonding or painting of the laminate surface. It also elimi-nates the need for any sanding or abrading of the surface in preparation for these processes. PA80R1 is an easy way to decrease cost at the workshop level, increase productivity, and produce high quality parts with a smooth surface finish.

brEathEr fabriC

Breather fabric is a lightweight, absorbent, non-woven polyester fabric that provides a path for air to be removed within the vac-uum bag while maintaining the vacuum consistently throughout the mold, all of which helps consolidate the laminate. Breather fabric also absorbs excess resin.

product Range: three standard weights of 150 gr/m2, 200 gr/m2, and 300 gr/m2

floW mEsh

Flow mesh is a low profile, knitted fabric designed to evenly and efficiently distribute resin during the vacuum infusion process. It also provides consistent air evacuation.
